What do you Own That's Turned Heads?

[Starik20X6]

My LEGO collection. At the time of writing, I have 364 sets, totalling at around 80,000 bricks, over 870 minifigures and with a combined retail price of over US$8,500. It tends to get a lot of respect, and is the subject of enormous envy by nearly all who lay eyes upon it.

-snip-

My surname happens to be Pink, so any time someone decides to go down the 'pink is for fags' road, they end up with a thorough logical hiding. Besides, chicks dig it.

Y'know... (and I wrote this intro last) All this thread will create is a "who has the largest wank-off object that the public will notice"....... I also feel bad for joining in...


I own a Mazda RX8, that usually gets attention of people really quickly...

I also stumbled across a 1985 Porsche which I'm in the process of doing up...
now THAT will turn some heads once she's on the road...

In the meantime, I suppose the only other thing that gets people's attention that I own is my MLP shirt(s)... Although I can't help but feel a little self-conscious when people do look.... -.-

Since most of my friends do play games but aren't really 'gamers', my PC setup tends to 'turn heads'. 2 screens, one large and one smaller. A black case with a window and blue/green lights. A gamer mouse and a Z-board gaming keyboard. My PS3 hooked up to it as well. A separate desk for it, and a comfy, good desk chair to sit in.

Other than that...well, my Motorcycle as well. A black Honda Shadow VT 1100 with extended foot rests, a custom paint job (a blue/purple rose and the name 'black rose' on the tank), saddle bags and a windscreen. Quite a few people check it out when I ride by, and I've had a few people come up to me and ask about it or come and look at it up closer when I was parking or getting ready to leave.

my massive penis.

I have long hair and often carry a big backpack, maybe they think I'm homeless. Also I wear huge headphones wherever I go.

Does physical appearance count? ^_^

Other than that, I dunno if anything has turned heads per se. But I'm working on a model Roma (Italian battleship) that I hope will have this effect.

 

[Ambitiousmould]

My awesome hat. It's a black fedora-type thing. Made in Italy, and 100% cotton. The two reactions I get are either "cool hat!" or "what the fuck is with that hat?". I think the second one comes around because, as Monty Python observed, "people aren't wearing enough hats."

 

[CrazyCapnMorgan]

See I find men who like pink confident and willing to go against gender norms.

Norms? To me, there are no such things. Only perceptions. Perceptions can be popular...but that alone doesn't make them correct. What's important is one's freedom to pursue their own happiness and goals, despite arbitrary rules and regulations. As long as that pursuit does not infringe on the freedoms of another's happiness and goals, anyways.

That's sexy.

I, uh.....thanks. This red glow you see is my lava lamp. Pay it no mind. >.>

 

[Kyrian007]

A hideous physical deformity. I'm lucky though. It's in a place that's usually covered by cloths.

Spoiler

Not there... It's my foot. Does not affect my walking or running stride, so only turns heads when I'm barefoot or sandals.

A Pig Faced Bascinet

Obviously its not the same as this one but its got the same design and mine is far more rusty.

 

[Vetta E-dom]

My boots designed by AYYA. Me and the GF are designers so we make a lot of our own stuff car parts, clothing, etc... So some stuff turns heads.

It's okay I think they're bullshit too. *high five*

 

[xPixelatedx]

I have a lot of gamer friends, and as such some of my gamer things turn their heads. Also, I am a big gamer to... which may or may not become apparent soon.

This is my wristwatch

This is my bedroom door

This is my game that doesn't exist

And this is my game that might as well not exist (in as mint condition as an opened game can be)

I have a few other things but I don't want to clutter this place anymore.

 

[Omega500]

I have a Mk1 escort in yellow, turns a few heads its also gets more attention at these car meets then the pricks that have spent 10k+ on a car with fancy lights and shit.

Ive only spent around 2'500 on mine over 10 yrs as i've done lot of the work myself

This aint a pic of mine but its the same model http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r199/bmc076/EscortMk1RedFgura261008.jpg

 

[unindexedsearchengine]

I'm particularly "proud" of my N7 sneakers, but the most notable one would be the gloriously awesome hat, as seen in my avatar.

 

[Baron_BJ]

I'm a comic collector, I keep my comics in my living room because I've too many to keep anywhere else, they've all been meticulously sorted, placed in bags and boards, cataloged and indexed. An entire wall is covered, topped to bottom in comic boxes (I had special shelves built that cover the entire wall). If I had to guess how many books I had I'd say approximately 5,000. Without fail, every person who's seen the wall goes "whoa, what the fuck?".

Then almost everyone will then cock an eyebrow at me because of some of the titles that I own. It's apparently considered strange that I've got collections of Spider-Girl, Araña, Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Birds of Prey, etc. in addition to Spider-Man and Batman and the like.

I've also got a sizable collection of Mario & Luigi plushies, I'm trying to find other plushies out there from the Mario games, but not too many stores stock any other characters except for maybe Yoshi(and postage in Australia is horribly expensive) and seriously, fuck Yoshi.

 

[Divine Miss Bee]

i have a blue dress painted to look like the TARDIS that i don't just reserve for conventions. i get stared at a lot when i wear it. and my hair is always a weird color, if that counts as a thing i "own."

 

[theartknife]

a neck! ha ha, i am the funniest

 

[Proverbial Jon]

Outside of that, I'd have to say my Spirit Hood [http://i.imgur.com/b7DJyId.jpg]. It's pretty unusual, but a lot of people seem to like it. They also become quite envious during the colder months. (It's super snuggly and warm!)

Wow, I've never seen Spirit Hoods before; they look awesome. I actually happen to have something very similar which was custom made for me by someone on DeviantArt as a commission.

Spoiler: Image

It's super awesome. Although I haven't been out in public yet... perhaps we'll see what happens when winter comes around!

Outside of that my next biggest head turner or "WTF" reaction generator is my Halo 3 Legendary edition Master Chief Mjolnir helmet. Non gamers are quite confused by it when they visit my house!

 

[Broken Blade]

My family owns a long-haired rottweiler. He's a purebred (both of his parents are actually award-winning champion show dogs) but he looks like a cross between a rottweiler and a golden retriever. We can go walking with him anywhere, because people's first reactions aren't "oh my god, it's a rottweiler!" it's "oh my god, what is that adorable thing?" It helps that he's A) adorable and B) really friendly.

My favorite story is the time I was walking him back to the car, and some woman was on her cellphone talking to someone, and she basically does a verbal double-take. "And? I just saw one of the strangest things I've ever seen walk past."

 

[Fractral]

I've got a mass effect hoodie which I wear whenever I go out on something I feel is geeky. It's nice when people make comments about it, usually to the effect of 'that's awesome dude'.
Looks pretty much like this, but with a zip down the front.
